dc.description.abstractMillennials are less affiliated with Christianity compared to older generations (Pew Research Center, 2015). However, historically Black Protestant denominations have experienced an overall stable attendance during recent years, especially in comparison to mainline Protestantism which has experienced the greatest decline in membership among Christian groups (Pew Research Center, 2015). This study explores why Black Millennials in the United States choose to attend predominantly Black congregations.
